MLS Mock Draft: Chicago Fire Select Zarek Valentin With Ninth Pick
Merwin Mixdorf (Hot Time In Old Town): See we like Valentin because he fills a spot of need, is young and frankly his GA status keeps more cap available to sign veterans who can contribute right away. We can build with Kwame Watson Siroboe and Valentin as part of a young and growing backline with Stephen Kinney. Hopefully to build a backline for years to come.
Drew Epperley (WV Hooligan): Once again the Fire get a steal in this draft. Valentin is capable of playing centerback or right back. He's possibly the best defender in this draft too. He'll help turn around a woeful defense.
